Where is Your Agency on PMIAA Implementation?
It’s hard to believe that it has been three years since the Program Management Improvement Accountability Act (PMIAA), was signed into law. It established standards and a future roadmap to significantly improve program and project management (P/PM) in the Federal Government.
Strategy 2 – Regular OMB/Agency Engagement and Reviews
Strategy 3 – Strengthening Program Management Capacity to Build a Capable PM Workforce
Because the aim of PMIAA is quite extensive, OMB divided the implementation into three phases:
Phase I Focus
Agency appointments of Program Management Improvement Officers (PMIOs) in the 24 Federal agencies covered by the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 except for the Department of Defense;
Focused on expanding portfolio reviews of programs to include grants
Scheduled to start FY 2020, Q1 and end FY 2021, Q4
Phase III Focus
The issuance of a revised 5-year strategic plan with updated strategies
Identification of additional programmatic areas for portfolio reviews
Continued refinement of P/PM standards for other program types
Scheduled to begin FY 2022, Q1
Proof of Progress
All of the Federal agencies covered by the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 (except for the Department of Defense) are subject to PMIAA. While implementation is happening, much of the progress is not clear to the general public. Check out the following agencies’ links listed below for examples of policies, templates that demonstrate their efforts to meet the PMIAA guidelines:
“In the Project Management Institute’s 2016 Pulse of the Profession report, only 7% of organizations were recognized as Project Management “champions.” The Department of Energy is one of these elite few. Champions accomplish 80% or more of their projects on time and on budget while meeting the original goals and business intent.” DOE PM website
